It's pleurghburg I think.

There isn't many things you can do with it, two of the possible solutions are:
1. Set "wave output" and/or "midi output" to 'none', and see if you can get past that part, you can then save the game and re-enable sound again. (Note that, as midi music was never used in that game, you can always leave "midi output" to 'none'.
2. If you're playing the game at 640x400, try setting the res. to 320x200 (Running it in higher res. didn't do much good anyway, just sometimes the characters may look better when zoomed out and the game will run slower), and see if it worked.

It's recommended that you try out 1 first, then if it won't work, try out 2 or 1&2 both simultaneously. Note that for 2, if you change the res. of the game, there is a chance that you cant load the old save games saved at higher res., ie. you may need to replay from beginning to find out. :p

If none of them works, I'm afraid that you can't do much to it at the moment, as the game was made with an older version of the engine, which might have some annoying bugs.
